Struggling with pain

I'm on low dose Mounjaro (2.5) for the foreseeable future to try to lower my A1C, and have been moving my body more after an extended period of time not moving.

The amount of soreness I'm feeling today is understandable given I walked a total of 2 miles and got too much sun.

I'm really hoping there are other people here who can steer me in the right direction, as my own web searches have not been helpful. When walking or standing for a while, I get a burning numbness tingly pain on the top of my thigh that really bothers me while I'm walking or standing. I also get a burning inflamed muscle sensation in my lower back that is often accompanied by sciatic nerve pain down the back of my leg.

I know that this is an issue based on the size of my body and how deconditioned I am.

But has anyone experienced this and found a method of relief using anything, a wrap, a brace, anything?

I'm suffering a little bit and trying not to give up.

I just restarted MJ (Only stopped because of an insurance issue) and I cannot believe the amount of gas my body is producing. It's painful Bloating, Burping, Endless farts. It feels like I have air bubbles in my guts, and I'm not having a fun time.

What do I do to mitigate? This is injection day week two at starter dose.
